Location: Stony Brook University
Technical comfort: intermediate level
Job title: Student

Back Story:
Anna is a sophomore majoring in biology. She didn’t join many clubs her freshman year so she’s looking to make new friends and join clubs. She doesn’t know how to juggle but she did some hula hooping as a child. She has always had a fascination with the circus and thinks it looks really cool.

Motivations:
To meet new friends, learn how to juggle and learn cool hula hoop tricks to show her friends, and play with other equipment.

Frustrations:
Some tricks are super hard. There are too many students and not enough teachers. Some equipment had been left from students who graduated and no one knows how to use it.

Their ideal experience:
Anna can walk into the circus club and decide what she wants to learn, such as juggling. She sees that one of the teachers is teaching some students how to juggle for the first time, she goes and chats with them. She looks around and sees other levels of jugglers, tight rope walkers, and hoopers.
